Matthew Sadler is one of the UK's strongest ever players. He became
a grandmaster at 19, won the British Championship twice and,
amongst other amazing achievements, made a gold medal winning score
of 101/2/13 on board four for England in the 1996 chess Olympiad.
In 2000 Matthew quite full-time chess. However, he re-emerged ten
years later in 2010 to play a rapidplay tournament in Wageningen,
Holland which he promptly won with 7/7. In 2011 he played in strong
international events at Barcelona and Oslo and won them with the
Fischer-like scores of 81/2/10 and 8/9 respectively. After a decade
away from the game, these results are simply astounding. Matthew's
extraordinary ability at chess stems not simply from natural talent
but is based on a brilliant aptitude for studying the game. He
understands exactly what needs to be studied and how to go about
it. In this book he recounts how he organised his preparation for
his 'comeback' and from his results the success of his method is
self-evident. In this book Matthew shares his secrets and reveals
how to: * Incorporate unorthodox openings into your repertoire *
Study middlegame situations * Understand what is important in the
endgame As well as being an exceptional player Matthew is also a
fine writer who conveys his ideas with ease. He has previously
written four books for Everyman with his book on the Queen's Gambit
Declined winning the British Chess Federation Book of the Year
award in 2000. Matthew currently lives and works in Holland.
